    However, this class is by application only. The application process generally begins in late February after students have selected their classes. All students selected for this class must be active members of a local Christian church as well as willing to openly give a statement of their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior on their application.

  • Charity of the Month Program

    DESCRIPTION:
    As a charitable organization ourself, Faith Lutheran believes it to be a part of our core values to teach and encourage cheerful giving vs obligatory giving. Each year, we will publish and provide to our stakeholders the academic year’s Calendar of Giving. Although we encourage sacrificial giving and would desire participation in all fundraisers & collections, it is at the discretion of the members of the Faith Family to determine which programs/charities in which they will participate.

    This plan has been created to have our charitable giving initiated and driven at the student level. Students leading these initiatives work together with the HS Student Leadership Charity Chair and are mentored by the Director of Student Life. In a continuing effort to encourage strong values of philanthropy and community involvement among a wider group of students, a committee of student representatives from each school will be appointed and selected each academic year that will receive school-wide support. Both schools (MS & HS) will support the same charity, unless otherwise indicated.

    If a student has an interest in being a committee member and host a charity drive, the student must complete an application, make presentations to the MS & HS student selection committee, and be appointed. Applications for consideration will be received for a 1-month period and presentations by students are made to the selection committee in April or May to be appointed for the following school years Charitable Giving Plan.

  • Homework Club

    DESCRIPTION: 
    This club provides a place for students to complete homework assignments in a quiet and focused environment in which they are able to utilize the assistance of a teacher while they work independently. This club may also be utilized to make up and/or take quizzes and tests after school in communication with the student’s teachers.
    EXPECTATIONS: 
    • We want to minimize distractions during Homework Club as much as possible, so students will arrive no later than 3:15 PM if planning to attend Homework Club. Arriving beyond this time requires a student to have a pass from a teacher. 
    • Students are expected to be silent while they work. All assignments are to be completed independently. Homework Club is not a place for students to meet in groups or collaborate.
    • Students may utilize the teacher/advisor in charge for occasional help on homework assignments. That being said, the teacher/advisor is there to help ALL students. So, there should not be an expectation that the teacher/advisor will assist students with the completion of an entire assignment, question by question.
    • Students may be asked to leave Homework Club if they are: 
      • talking or speaking with other students without permission, 
      • creating any type of distraction
      • not being respectful of the teacher/advisor in charge.
    • Although Homework Club runs until 4:00 each Tuesday and Thursday, students may leave before then if:
      • they are going to FAST
      • they are participating in another Faith extra-curricular activity
      • their parents have arrived to pick them up
      • their parent has given them permission to walk/ride bike home.
    GOALS/PURPOSE/ACTION PLAN: 
    Our club’s purpose is to give students an opportunity and a place to complete their studies independently. The teacher/advisor is present to supervise students, maintain a quiet environment, and to help students occasionally with their work on an as needed basis.
    LOCATION  & TIME OF MEETINGS:
    Where? 322 (Mr. Beckman’s classroom)
    When? Tuesdays (3:15-4:00) and Thursdays (3:15-4:00)

  • Hope & Care Club

    DESCRIPTION: 
    This club supports an already established nonprofit organization called Hope and Care Outreach, based in Las Vegas, NV. Students are able to engage in leadership, organizational skills, and community as they not only become aware about the adversities that many people face in other countries, but also to learn how to help and make a difference. One of the most important things we will do is to create relationships with the orphans and students attending Lutheran Schools in Liberia through various projects.

    EXPECTATIONS: 
    Members of this club are expected to attend monthly meetings and participate in various activities. For example, Hope and Care Outreach hosts an annual fundraiser in September - Love Never Fails, as well as a 5K Walk/Run in April, so club members were expected to help plan, participate and serve at these events.  Meetings will allow for members to bring their ideas to light so that decisions on projects can be made as a group.

    GOALS/PURPOSE: 
    The goal of our club is to support Hope and Care Outreach, while creating awareness of the way of life in Liberia and empowering  students to use their gifts to make a difference in the world. This club will allow students to explore leadership skills, create relationships with citizens of Liberia, provide support to the US organization, and organize various projects and events.. In addition to providing support for the orphans, families, students of Lutheran schools and the Evangelical Lutheran Church - Liberia Synod, this club will give Faith students broader knowledge of life lived on the other side of the world.

  • Model UN

    What is Model United Nations?
    Model United Nations (MUN) is an academic simulation of the actual United Nations. The FLHS MUN Team provides students the opportunity to learn about and debate global issues, improve their critical thinking and public speaking skills, better understand and practice diplomacy, all while simulating the committees, debates, and activities of the real United Nations.
     
    What does a Model United Nations student do?
    The FLHS MUN Team prepares for and attends MUN Conferences throughout the United States and internationally. At the conferences, the students act as delegates of their assigned country or historical figure and sit on simulated United Nations Committees to debate and resolve current international issues. To prepare for the conferences, students actively research, debate, problem-solve, and write proposals on world issues during practices.
     
    How will Model United Nations benefit me?
    The skills developed during MUN help the students prepare for college and careers. The students will gain unprecedented knowledge of world affairs. Public speaking, research, writing, critical thinking, problem-solving, diplomatic, and leadership skills are all things heavily recruited by premier colleges and universities. MUN can make students stand out to colleges and scholarship committees. The MUN experience also promotes cultural diversity and a deeper understanding of our interconnected, global society. The MUN Team is part of the FLHS Justice and Advocacy program and satisfies the J & A extracurricular requirement.
     
    When does the Model United Nations Team meet?
    The MUN Team meets every Thursday from 6:00-7:30 and occasionally on the three Mondays before competition from 6:00-7:30. All practices are held in the Library.
     
    Are there any requirements to be a Model United Nations team member?
    Students must be academically in good standing at FLHS, attend a minimum of 2/3’s of the practices, and attend at least two conferences per year. Additionally, students must prepare and submit a position paper (3-5 pages) before each conference they attend.

  • Trial By Peers - Faith Unit

    DESCRIPTION:
    The Clark County Law Foundation's Trial By Peers (TBP) program is an innovative diversion program used as an alternative for first and some second time juvenile offenders. This program gives juveniles hands-on experience within the legal system and allows youth charged with misdemeanors to be tried, represented, and sentenced by their peers - other teens.

    Youth have the opportunity to participate in TBP in three primary areas of the program: as a defendant, a peer counselor or a juror. Defendants are prosecuted, defended by teen counselors, and tried in front of a jury of their peers. Teen juries determine the guilt or innocence and if applicable, impose a sentence. If the defendant completes the sentence accordingly, then his record will only reflect a referral to the peer court. Sentences may include jury duty, community services, letters of apology, and personal development classes.

This form will put you on the list to receive the application to the program.  Applications are generally distributed in March or April for the following summer program.  Once a student has completed the training program, they are able to serve until they graduate from high school.
